Hong Kong has been good to me. This month I led two evening workshops at Garage Society, six days apart, for the entrepreneurs and small business owners building things here.
Two different rooms, two different topics, one very familiar thread: everyone arrives quietly convinced that if they could just work a little harder, it would all finally hold together.
Structure & Focus: Implementing Systems for Success
with Willo Sana @ Garage Society
August 20, 2015 · Hong Kong
Structure gets a bad reputation among creative people. It sounds like the opposite of freedom. In practice it is the thing that buys you freedom, because a system you trust is a decision you never have to make again.
So we built some. What actually needs to happen every week, what only you can do, and what has been sitting on your list so long that it has quietly become part of your personality.
DIY is Overrated: How to Sustainably Grow Your Business While Keeping Your Sanity
with Willo Sana @ Garage Society
August 26, 2015 · Hong Kong
Doing it all yourself feels responsible. It feels careful. It is also the single most reliable way I know to cap your business at exactly the size of your own stamina.
This one was practical. What to hand off first, how to hand it off so it stays handed off, and the very unglamorous groundwork that makes delegating possible at all.
Thank you to Garage Society!
